Story
Di, Luke and their extended families wish to express their sincerest gratitude for your thoughts, love, prayers and kind donations. They have had good news that the health fund will be covering the cost of the emergency flight home for Luke on Saturday. Luke's condition remains critical and his survival is dependant on finding a compatible donor. Your generous donations to date will contribute to the significant costs incurred by the family thus far, and any surplus will be donated by the Wilkinsons. * if you have any inquiries or concerns about where the donations are going please contact us and will facilitate anyone.
Our dear friend Luke is in critical, life threatening condition and is in immediate need of a liver transplant. Luke is currently in hospital in Singapore while his wife Di and two young boys Jude and Finn are waiting in a nearby hotel. With no corporate health insurance kicking in until a liver is found, we are urgently raising funds to get Luke and family the support they need while they desperately search for a donor.
Please keep this young family in your hearts and prayers and please, if you can, give generously now as every minute is critical.
Luke (37), Di (34), Jude (5) and Finn (3) Wilkinson, A family full of happiness and joy for life. Grateful for all that life brings, good and bad. This strong and inspiring family need our love and support right now.
Daddy Luke works hard for his family, away traveling in Asia he has been infected with tropical infections for which he had numerous medication to treat. Suffering for the past 3-5 months he decided to meet the family and take them on holiday to Singapore. Where he could rest with his wife Di to take care of him and the children Jude and Finn can play and have fun. However he became very sick and overnight his life was critical. The doctors diagnosed him with Acute Liver failure due to all the medication. His best chance now is a Liver transplant back in the UK immediately.

8 years agoPlease keep this family in you hearts, over the past two weeks Luke had a major set back which made him worse than he originally was but he's a fighter, he has proven this already and is slowly but steadily making minor improvements. All the family have faith and strength that he's going to make it through.

8 years agoUpdate: We are still in the Freeman hospital & as we have been to different countries there are a lot of tests to do to find out if there are any other possible causes for Lukes illness. He is not concious at the moment but he is comfortable and continues to recieve the best care from all of the amazing staff here. Luke was given 5-7 days and we're now on day 9! I truly belive that being super fit and really strong had given him the best fighting chance. Your thoughts and support continue to spur us on and I know we will get through this
